5.0 out of 5 starsGreat even for Non IT people
By O. Bespalov on March 4, 2005
Format: Paperback
Aside from all the great things stated above, I can personally attest as a non IT person that this book has helped me get my new job. My wife, a software engineer, suggested it after her success with it. I have since had 3 other people find great success on thier interviews after I recommended this book. READ IT!

5.0 out of 5 starsMust Have for IT job seekers
By M Dot on April 30, 2004
Format: Paperback
For months I kept going to job interviews and was frustrated time after time after time. I never got call backs and I didn't understand what I was doing wrong. After a while I realized I needed an edge, and after searching for a while I stumbled across the Ace the IT job interview book. I read reviews for it and decided to spend the money. After reading it and following some of the instructions and doing many of the exercises, things changed dramatically. The first 2 interviews I secured after completing the book, I got called in for 2nd interviews, something that wasn't happening before. I narrowly missed out on those but my confidence was soaring. I went from a job seeker to a VITP (read the book to find out what that is) and thats how I started to come across. I secured another interview and I did so well they made the decision to hire me while I was interviewing with some other members of the I.T. team! (No lie).
I HIGHLY recommend this book to those of you who are going through what I went through. The market is tough for techies right now, so you have to stand out from the pack. This book will help you be prepared to snag your next job.

4.0 out of 5 starsNice book to have while interviewing
By R. N. Radhakrishnan on May 12, 2003
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a pretty decent book to go thru a couple of times while you are hunting for jobs. For any single person, only a portion of the book would be useful, seeing that it addressess various job functionalities sequentially, so be ready to skip ahead whenever you are reading. The structure of the book is very good, and the language is direct, neither too preachy nor condescending. I liked the fact that I could look up the positions I am after, and base my preparations on what this book tells me to expect : it makes it easier for anybody to know what to prepare for.
At the same time, this book does not pretend to be comprehensive : a Java programmer might easily be asked many more questions than what appear here, and of different types too. But if you are paying attention while going thru the given questions, you could easily identify what exactly you would be found lacking in if you were in the hot seat right this moment.
For the price of a book, definitely worth it.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Informative and Well Presented
By Eddie on June 1, 2004
Format: Paperback
Like many of us in the real world, looking for that perfect IT Job is like looking for a needle in a haystack, this book discussess everything surrounding an IT interview, hiring manager's perceptions, etc. This book helps to develop IT Job candidate in every possible scenario.
I've done my fare share of interviewing, but my success rate is rather low until a friend recommended this material, the read was so down to earth and right on the money, specially when the book breaks down everything by job title and possible Q&A.
It certainly help me land my current job, and the interview went just like the book depicts your current job title. I highly recommend this book, it will help you just like it did me. Good Luck.

4.0 out of 5 starsHighly recommended for IT newbies. Less useful for those with experience.
By Jaewoo Kim VINE VOICE on June 19, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is highly recommended for those trying to break into IT or those who have never hired anyone in IT. I also recommend this book for foreign IT professionals who wants an insight on what American IT organizations are looking for.

The book takes you to the perspective of the hiring manager and identifies exactly what the IT hiring manager is looking for.

Don't let the plethora of help-wanted ads fool you. Finding a quality IT job even for seasoned professionals is not easy.

The book can provide an edge, but much of it is still common sense for those who have many years of experience.

The book provides serveral key interview questions and how one should prepare and approach the interview. You would need to be prepared for both the technical portion and the soft-skills. Remember, hiring you entails risk and it is your job to convince that you are a low-risk high-benefit hire.

The book also provides some resume tips but not much. The author's other book, "Ace the IT Resume" has far more resume examples and there is a significant overlap between the two books.

The book was published in 2007 when the IT job market wasn't bad (not great either) and I think this book needs a post Great Recession update. If anything, IT professionals need more of an edge and the average age of IT workforce has risen due to lower number of college students majoring in Computer Science and Information Systems.

By Nawar Aljanabi on December 16, 2004
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I started preparing for interview with that book, I was really impressed. It's a good help for people who want to get familiar with interview questions.

It has a lot for a different type of jobs ,Don't use this book as the only source to prepare; there are a few more that are MUST read, like the boost Interview IQ book.

5.0 out of 5 starsMost Amazing IT interview book available; Highly Recommended
By A Customer on December 30, 2003
Format: Paperback
I started my job search months ago and was getting turned down left and right. I had no idea what I was doing wrong until I got some information from a recruiter on how to interview. I realized that there was a lot of information and ideas on interviewing I was clueless about. So I did my own research and decided to by this book.
After thouroughly reading it, I was amazed with the things that you can do an Interview. It enlightened me to a new style of interviewing. So I went to my next interview and the hiring manager liked me so much he offered me the management position, I couldn't believe it. This book is #1. If your tired of going on interviews with no responses afterwards. READ THIS BOOK!!! I guarantee you get the job that you want. I did and I did it myself. It really feels good to know you did it. That's All. Good Luck!
